Période

This example presumably used after 1917 and until late 1940s; possibly used later.

Canada

Part of a collection of hand tools belonging to James Anthony (1883-1966), an English born and trained carpenter who came to Canada c. 1910 and worked in and around Ottawa, ON. Following the 1916 fire which destroyed the Parliament buildings and damaged the Library, Mr. Anthony was hired as a foreman with the restoration crews. Until 1920, he was involved in the rebuilding of the Peace Tower and the installation of new windows at the Library of Parliament. He later worked with various builders in the Ottawa area, retiring in the late1940s. After his death in 1966 the tools were given to his son Jack, who in turn donated them to CSTMC. [Ref. 1]

Fonction

To shape and smooth surface of wood by removing thin, narrow strips.

Technique

This model of block plane was a very popular Stanley product, but it's design was limited and somewhat flawed. Earlier models [. 1876-early 1880s] featured decorative casting details on the iron cap, which was fitted with a tightening wheel. No adjustment mechanism was provided on the plane for it's cutting blade: irons had to be set by hand. The front knob [or 'tote'] was prone to falling off: many users drilled through the main casting and secured the knob to the plane with a screw. [Ref.3] 110's were often in need of repairs: in this example, a homemade "fix" employed was the use of a shim [.5] to exert sufficient pressure on the iron and cap to secure both within plane.
